One really strange thing about living in the post-industrial world is that most people have no idea how their physical and demographic landscape came to exist, because we're so alienated from material conditions of even a century or two ago.
I find this matters a lot when it comes to economics too. Processes that would have been going on around you, with all of the producers and consumers very clear now happen (more efficiently) far away, with cause and effect obscured by complex networks.
Yeah, I find even the incredibly fundamental idea that non-food-producers must be sustained by food production elsewhere - of societies as redistributors of agrarian surplus - is totally alien to students. "What makes it so you're not on a farm right now" is a foreign question
But of course this is fundamental to premodern societies, where surpluses per agrarian worker are (by our standards) pathetically low and so the extractive relationships required to sustain non-producers very clear and central to society
Translating Peter’s tweet: “most people have no idea how their regional economy came to exist, because they are isolated from the dominant processes that shaped it.” Sounds very true to me, and most definitely applies to any & all attempts in pop media to compare regions.
Yes, I think this is right, inasmuch as physical and demographic landscapes are the result of regional economies we are really talking about the same thing.
